It's conceivable that unless the traffic light has a left turn arrow, you could wait at the stop line for several cycles before traffic approaching from the opposite direction clears. I believe that at an intersection where there is no left turn arrow, you are allowed to enter the intersection on green, wait for traffic from the opposite direction to clear, and then make your left turn. Perhaps a call to a Florida Highway Patrol Post would clear up any confusion.
